nah you dont get it, they've gotta sell out BST in minutes or they're not ready to headline Glastonbury. 

I bet the BTS lads would do well at BST

Taylor sold it out last time, but only after a few months. It's not sold out this time though. At least, not yet.

Macca's an arena act in this country. His last stadium shows were a decade back and he didn't pack out the venues. They ended up giving away tickets to Hampden Park.

 

Yeah this conversation seems based on things that just aren't true.

Taylor hasn't sold it out in minutes, she hasn't it out in months. There's no guarantee Macca would sell out BST.

Kendrick definitely isn't as big as Taylor or Macca in the UK, but it feels like there's imaginary, somehwat un-achievable goalposts of selling out Hyde Park instantly for him that don't seem to be present for other two?

Don't worry, its just people once again saying acts can't headline due to a new thing they've created inside their heads. 

Didn't say that at all.  And it's a discussion forum.

It's workin' twice as hard as the people you know you're better than
'Cause you need to do double what they do so you can level them

Fair enough - thanks for the clarification.

Not sure I can recall anyone saying you had to sell out BST instantly?

Okay then, "quickly". 

She hasn't sold it out at all yet, mind.

First post drop 10th March, festival cancelled 19th May due to coronavirus.

If people are disappointed with Kendrick - and some will be - they should take solace that they dont have an appointment with Posty.

I thought all the GA tickets were gone ages ago?  I think the only tickets left are the premium tickets which are always going to be a harder sell

While that's true, when the only "tickets" left are the 300 quid plus hospitality ones, most people would view it as near enough that it makes no difference.

Wonder how quick Posty would sell out BST? 😜

[MaxPower]

Yeah fair enough I didn't realise the Primary Entry tickets were like £350, that seems an outrageous price.

Still seems to be availability

And there are still folks on here who say Pearl Jam can’t headline Glastonbury, when they’re the only one who have sold their day at BST

Bit of a special case though - got an affluent fanbase who follow them around the continent seeing them multiple times.

I still think we're a couple of weeks off an announcement (sticking to my 12th March prediction!) but I am really excited and would love it to be sooner

Just checked and you can only buy the terrace or ultimate bar experience tickets for Taylor now £324 or £399. All the punter tickets seem to have gone.

I would describe that as sold out.  Nobody with any sense would pay those prices

Yeah I suppose, but I guess he's just not at the forefront of people's mind without new material, it has been a few years.

Yeah possibly. Don’t get me wrong I think he is a great addition for Glastonbury even if I won’t be anywhere near it. I do also wonder if people just think BST is a bit shit, I have been twice and it’s a terrible set up and far too quiet. I can’t think of many people who would drag me back there at those prices and I guess your younger fan is probably going to struggle with a £100 ticket whereas the average fan of Springsteen for example (one of my two visits) tends to be older with far more disposable income.

Yeah this is a factor definitely, I think people would rather just see them on a tour or go to a proper festival .
